Fenerbahçe, who finished second in the Süper Lig, are beginning to see their potential opponents in the UEFA Champions League Second Qualifying Round become clearer.
HERE ARE THE POTENTIAL OPPONENTS
The yellow-navy team's current possible opponents include Austria's Sturm Graz, Scotland's Hearts, and the Polish league runner-up. From Poland, potential opponents could be Gornik Zabrze, Jagiellonia, or Rakow.
ASTON VILLA DETAIL STANDS OUT
In the Champions League draws, the result of Aston Villa's UEFA Europa League final will also be influential. If the English team wins the Europa League and finishes in the top four of the Premier League, Bodo/Glimt and Olympiakos will advance directly to the next round. In this case, Sturm Graz will emerge from among Fenerbahçe's potential opponents.
DRAW DATE ANNOUNCED
The draw for the UEFA Champions League Second Qualifying Round will take place on June 17, 2026. The first leg matches will be played on July 21-22, while the second leg matches will be held on July 28-29.
TOUGH OPPONENTS IN LATER ROUNDS
If Fenerbahçe advances past the Second Qualifying Round, potential opponents they may face include teams like Sparta Prague and NEC. In the play-off round, strong teams such as Lyon, Olympiakos, and Bodo/Glimt are expected to be included.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GOAL
The yellow-navy team will face a challenging qualification process to reach the Champions League group stage in the new season. Fenerbahçe fans are already focused on the draw.
